I think we can't delay switch to Java 11 as default any more for multiple
reasons:
* Even if switch to Java 11 is delayed these packages are unlikely to be
fixed until it's inevitable
* Packages start to require Java 11 e.g. next Eclipse (Equinox OSGi, SWT,
etc.) will require Java 11 and rpm will ensure Java 11 is installed on the
user machines but as long as the system JVM is Java 8  - rpms that rely on
eclipse bits will have to ensure they set Java 11 in their startup scripts.
But even that would not ensure smooth user experience as growing part of
the java rpms will no longer be usable with the default JVM.
